THINK QUICK with Sandra Sutter

Hi Sandra! Congrats on the release of STAN'S FRIGHTFUL HALLOWEEN! We are thrilled to celebrate with you today! I love the themes of persistence and friendship in this book.  And of course it's the perfect read for Halloween! All of the THINK QUICK themes below appear in your book.  Let’s see which way you lean.  Remember, THINK QUICK!

On Halloween: 

Best holiday or worst holiday? 

One of the best (but admittedly, it isn't my favorite). 

On Werewolves: 

Fascinating or Scary? 

Scary. Except for Stan, of course! Who can resist that adorable face? 

On Halloween parties:

Essential or superfluous? 

Essential. I loved Halloween parties at school and think every child who enjoys such frightful fun should experience one! 

On Surprise Parties:

Delightful or dreadful? 

Delightful. I am a good secret-keeper! 

On trick or treating:

Tricks or Treats? 

Treats, although a well-played, a non-harmful trick is always appreciated.

On falling:

Happens all the time or rarely happens? 

All - the - time. I've fallen off of a sidewalk. Twice. 

On persistence:

All the time or some of the time? 

All the time, especially in the publishing world. 

On friendship:

Many friends or a few good friends? 

A few good friends, but I love to meet new ones. 

On puns:

Frightfully funny or just plain frightful? 

Frightfully funny! Can you tell I'm not one for scary movies?

On books:

STAN'S FRIGHTFUL HALLOWEEN OR STAN'S FRIGHTFUL HALLOWEEN? 

This is such a tough choice. But if I have to choose one, it's going to be STAN'S FRIGHTFUL HALLOWEEN! 

Thank you, Sandra!
